488 Delphi

[GPIB_kid]

   All of the Delphi examples that I have seen so far are using 488.2 calls. I have old instruments that are not

488.2 complient and require 488 calls only.

 They provided code fragments for 488 calls(not entire examples) and I need an entire example to get started.

To me it seems that the so call "direct entry" approach only makes things more difficult than they have to be.

I need a simple example of how to talk to one 488 instrument (not 488.2)

488.2 is an expansion of IEEE-488 that is a superset of functionality. Just use the 488 features.

(by the way most of the changes were requiring responses to certain bus queries that were optional on 488 and definining the core SCPI MLM format.)
